Comment on Anon is anti drugs
ameancow@lemmy.world 4 months agoIt says a lot about life broadly that any time we invent or devise some kind of system or chemical for eliminating pain, that substance instantly becomes so addicting that we can not longer manage life at all.
Life is pain. Even if you’ve gone numb to it, every moment hurts in one way or another.

I think this is what anti-natalists are going on about, that life is more painful than joyous, don’t bring convos beings into it.
I understand that premise, but I’d argue that there is more good than bad in life, that while the universe may not care about any of us, there are plenty of genuinely beautiful moments out there, even just waking around your local park.
Death is certain, maybe some should be permitted to exit life early, but there’s gotta be a way to show people nature’s beauty. I don’t really know where to go with this comment in truth. I just hope people in pain find genuine solace.
